These were taken by Loren Younggren of Hallock, MN (about 40 miles from me). We had some horrible weather, with communities about 20 miles or more north of me getting the brunt of it. Mr. Younggren is a photographer by trade, but these are his first ever tornado pics.





I wish the pics were bigger, because they are very stunning. The power of a tornado is awesome.

WOW nice pics
last weekend we had 6 of those rope tornados drop in a 2 hour period , they were about 40-50 miles from us too, but heading right for us , but for some reason the storm lost energy , then split us , and then gained more power as they passed.
It seems tornados are gettting more prevelant in other areas then they used to.
back in 1992 we had one on the ground for about an hour and it was a mile wide when it went through Andover Ks.

We rarely get tornados up here. When we do, they are never as numerous as they have been the past few weeks. It's been wacky weather.

I love the way tornados look. Very swe inspiring. I would love to see one in person... from a fair distance of course.

The ones that are scarry are the ones at night ! cant see nothing !
wesley , you need to become a storm chaser And you have to learn to move from right angles from them , to stay away from the danger.

Yes the are but not when you can see them coming at you.
